Similar to fancysearch, nssearch
Installation
Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Examples/Usage
The selectsearch plugin is a “non-fancy” copy of the fancysearch plugin. It is possible to define a list of namespaces in the plugin config (via the config manager) from which the user can choose when doing a search in the wiki. The results will be restricted to the chosen namespace.
To use the Plugin you have to include the searchbox in your template:
$selectsearch = plugin_load('action', 'selectsearch'); if (!is_null($selectsearch)) { $selectsearch->tpl_searchform(); } else { tpl_searchform(); }
Configuration and Settings
In the configuration manager you can define a list of namespaces to be selected by the user when doing a search.
The syntax for the option is the:name:space>Text to display in dropdown
The options are comma seperated. For having an option to search the whole wiki, you have to add an empty namespace like this: >whole wiki</tt
The defalut value gives a good impression how this works:
$conf['searchnamespaces'] = ">All pages,portfolio>Portfolio,hilfe>Help";

FAQ
[discussions should ideally be deleted and turned into FAQ entries along the way]
Discussion
- The Quick result pop-up no longer appears when this plugin is activated. Is that intentional?
- Within what template file(s) would you add the searchbox syntax?
Vector template
Doesn't appear in the correct place in the vector template.
language for search button
The parameter to change the language of the search-button is missing. As workaround it is possible to change line 55 in action.php to
echo '<input class=“button” type=“submit” title=“Search” value=“Suche”>';
(example for the german language)
The better way would be to introduce a new parameter for the settings.php
